A taekwondo class begins when the students are called together by the instructor. The students line up in the appropriate location designated by the school. The senior students are always in front of the class. From there, the students fall into place in accordance with their belt ranking. For example, the black belts will be in the front of the class, followed by the red belts, the blue belts, the yellow belts, and finally the white belts. When several members of the school possess the same belt ranking, their order is determined by who has been a student of the school for the longest period of time.
